It was during school time's lunch today that I opened teamliquid to check the news like usual, and when I saw the news, as I clicked on it, all that I was able to do was to mutter "no, no" and pray as hard as I can that it was somehow another Flash, not KT_Flash, not Lee Young-Ho, not God, not the last bonjwa. And yet as the page finishes loading, it was indeed KT_Flash. That moment I just... wanted to break down and cry. I know I haven't join the fandom for long, I know when I join the fandom he isn't in his prime anymore, and yet the news hit me so hard...

Wow Im so shaken.

Flash winning the GOM TV Star invitational back in 2008 was the first starcraft tournament I ever followed. I remember how I used to skip school to watch his games...and now it all comes to an end

If this means Flash is returning to Brood War, even casually, it's all for the better. I've had this account on Teamliquid for over nine years now and the Bonjwa BW players are a big part of that.

MVP comes back then Flash retires. I guess sc2 can only handle one God at a time. Huge lose for the starcraft community.

Never really a Flash fan but every time Flash played you could see the passion from other people and the audience. Sad that we only had so few Flash vs. Jaedong matches. GG and thanks for a great career and hope he stays in e-sports and helps SC2 grow even bigger and better!
Edit: Can Blizzard already confirm that next blizzcon Flash will be playing a show match?

arent people supposed to like come out of reitrement for lotv. why does it seem like more ppl are retiring after release?

regardless im sure flash has come to the point where he knows hes got to do his military service eventually and his results were not so great (maybe by flash standard i dunno) so it makes sense. if he does like a BW nostalgia stream for a short period ill definitely watch.

flash eating stream make it happen

From the Cheddar Terran to Royal Roader to Bonjwa.

The Prison Rape of Stork. That OSL semis game vs Bisu on Katrina. 3-1 Domination of Jaedong. The reverse all-kill of SKT1.

You will be missed, Lee Young Ho.
